A 'Thank You' to those still showing up for work during coronavirus pandemic.

While many of us have the privilege to “coronavirus and chill,” aka stay home and safe amid the coronavirus outbreak, we should all be grateful to those doing vital work that leaves them exposed.

It’s not just everyone working in health care, though they’re certainly the front line, but a bevy of others keeping our society functioning as the demand for internet and remote services rise.

It’s the doormen and delivery guys, the Uber and taxi drivers, the cops and the medical workers, grocery, pharmacy staff and then the service techs like us, that users depend on to keep their IT and businesses running.

With the rest of us tucked into our homes, these folks are taking the risk daily to keep our fridges and pantries stocked, ensure that those who need medications have them — and that travel remains possible, the lights stay on, the internet works and the computers keep on doing their thing so less man power is required.

In fact, these sorts of services are in such high demand, major companies announced it’s hiring of thousands additional workers as online and service technician demand increases.

Today lunch is on us.

Thank you to all who are showing up, despite the risks and fears. We quite literally couldn’t keep going without you.
